Victorian Spirit Photography
/
The Schroon-North Hudson Historical Society will feature a free program entitled “Victorian Spirit Photography: Beyond the Veil” on Friday, September 27 at 7 p.m. at their museum.
“The Victorian era (1837-1901) saw a huge curiosity in the occult,” said program presenter Diane O’Connor. “This interest in psychic phenomena, seances, spiritualism, ghost photography and other forms of communications beyond the living world were embraced by many prominent people of the time. We will look at this history and create an understanding of why it took place – and how it repeats today in our modern world”
Queen Victoria and Prince Albert took part in seances and well-known author Arthur Conan Doyle was also a believer, as was English poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning. O’Connor promises a couple of “surprises” during the program and invites both the living and “otherworldly” to attend.
